THE RAKES o. MALLOW.
The Little Irish Town That Was the
Birthplace of Editor O'Brien.
From the New York EUentng sun.

From, the Netg York EUening sun.
In any corner of the globe an Irish
man cannot be found who has not heard of
the old song, 1.-The Rakes o. Mallow," writ
ten TO the jaunty, rollicking air of "Sandy
Lent the Man his Null" 1t is as well known
to Irishinen as the air of "Patricks Day. or
'Garryowen. The town of which IL is
written is a borough in the county Cork,
Ireland, and that same town is the birth
place of two of the brightest intellectual
lights that have appeared In the armament
Of Irish politics IN the present century.
William O'Brien editor of United Ireland,
and Thomas Osborne Davis, the grand and
beloved luininary of the Dublin Nation,
were born there,
Thomas Davis was of Welsh extraction, a
stanch Protestant, educated at Trinity Col
lege, Dublin, and one who turned all his
mental powers and educational acquire
ments into the cause of poor Ireland. BE is
the author of one of the grandest battle bal
lads IN the English Language, acknowledged
to be unrivaled by the frstof English critics,
to whom its Irish sentiments must be unpal-
atable. 1t is named ssThe Battle Of Fonte-
noy.n Davis was born In Mallow in 1914,
and died in Dublin in 1S45 One Of the
grandest eulogies ever pronounced was de-
hvered over his new-made grave by Daniel
O'Connell, the great Irish tribune, who
passed away himself two years later.
William O'Brien, who is TO reach this city
on Wednesday, is also a Mallow man His
mental calihre can be judged by everybody
who has read his speeches in Canada ex-
posing Lord Lansdowne's conduct as land
lord in Ireland. His first entry into jour
nalisIn was as II reporter on the Cork Daily
Herald, about 1870, TO which he also con-
tributed novelties that fascinated public
attention away beyond Cork's borders He
afterwards worked on the staff of the Dub
lin Ffeenlan's Journal, until Mr.. PaITell,
with his discriminating eye for real worth
and ability, asked him to TO assume the edi
torship Of United Ireland
A reporter met fine old Irishman last
evening, who, with all the vigor and vehem-
ence Of youth, sang, The Rakes o. NAL
low" in honor Of Mr.. O'Brens coming to
this city. One Of the stanzas ran;
Spending faster than II comes
Beating walters, bailiffs, duns,
Bacchus' true, begotten sons
Live the Tukes o. Mallow.

and the next instant he was running toward
the object he had fired at. Before | could
reach him he was piuning something down
to the ground with his gun. II proves to be
a large snake We made sure of it, and
then turned i'll our cabin and made our
selves comfortable for the night. The next
morning we found the large dead snake.
"A Gueer-looking head said Jake,
YES; it was a queer-looking head, You
know how turtle draws his head into his
shell. Well this snake had something that
seemed TO fit over his head, that could be
tooth-pointed stovepipe. On the end, which
could be thrown out beyond the head, there
were sharp and hard teeth. much like a ire
panning instrument. Studying the dead
specimen, should say that he must have
had the power to throw this covering for
ward and at the same time To give it twist,
and thereby make neat round hole.
Jake now became more interested in my
yarn, as he termed it. He asked more
questions about it than was able answer.
""Well, that beats the Dutch, don't it.
We must keep mum, though, when we get
home, else the folks will think we have been
among the 'moopsinners' and had some of
their 'pine-top whisky
I'VE thought to bring the specimen
home with US, but the next night, when we
got back to the cabin we found it occupied
by some natives, and it seems they had
bruised the serpent's bead with their heels
till it was of no special value TO any one.
We spent the night with them, but no more
snakes came around to pay visit to that
cabin while we were tbare."

A SNAKE STORY
That Originated In North Carolina

That originated IN North Carolina.
From the Washington star.
"Tell about yer snake stories,n said Gus,
'when Jake and went cunning down in
the mountain wilds in North Carolina, had
an experience in the snake line, and saw
snake, such as do not believe was ever seen
or heard of before.
Jake was acquainted with the country
and knew where there was an old deserted
cabin. This we took possession of for the
few days we snatched from our business for
recreation. Game was plenty. 1t was in
the fall of 1872; the nights were rather cool

spring for water, and ON the way hack he
stopped to pick up some wood for the even

While sitting there alone, by the dim
light of q few suiall sticks. my mind running
back to the early days when the country was
inhabited by the red man, and game was
plenty, there came a sudden sharp
sound from the closed door,
and, with the rapidity of lightning,
something seemed to DO going around the
room As it passed between rue and the fire
il seemed like a snake s or 10 feet long. In
less time than it takes TO tell this should
think it made more than forty circuits of
the cabin. Another sharp thud at the door,

of an old beef can, full of fresh water from
the spring. told him what had happened.
He laughed, and said must be coming

by the now glowing fire we cooked our

boughs collected near by we made fair

moments after waking, saw Jake looking
earnestly at the door,

"'At these two nice round holes in that
door just look at them. They were not

Jackson Obeyed Orders.
From The San Francisco chronicle.

William H. Lawrence is a well-knowr
lover of fine field dogs, and few DAYS ago
was the happy and smiling owner of an
English blooded bitch sent out to him by a
gentleman who had received kindly social
attentions at his hands AS is we'll known,
Mr. Lawrence will not allow any infraetion
of any orders issued by him, either by the
workmen employed on the Spring Valley
plant or those in his own immediate SER
vice I
Lately he has, been much annoyed by the
visits of dogs fIom adjoining ranches, and,
calling man named jackson, Lawrence
gave him strict orders TO shoot every dog
found around the place. Mr.. Lawrence
then drove Off for the morning train, and
was soon engaged in a learned discussion
with different gentlemen in the car with re-
gard TO the necessary points which dog
should possess TO render him a thoroughly
valuable one.
Upon his return toward home in the even
ing he spied Jackson at some little distance.
with shotgun over his shoulder, evidently
guarding the premises from intruding dogs.
"Hows Lucyr shouted Lawrence.
Dead ~ yelled Jackson.
What's thatF cried Lawrence.
Il said she's dead, sir" replied jackson,
assuringly
And she was. jackson had killed the
valuable animal, acting upon what he he
lieved to be- his orders from Mr.. Lawrence.
1t il not known what Lawrence said, but he
evidently worked OF his feelings in words,
for Jackson still holds his place.

A Strange Mixture of Blood.

Probably the strangest mixture of blood
that can be found anywhere in this country
among what are known rs the upper classes
occurs in our northwestern cities, notably il,
st. Paul. In the early days the French
voyageurs and the Scotch employees of the
Hudson Bay company frequently intermar-
ried with the Indians and brought up large
families of half breeds. These intermarre]
with the Americans who settled i'll this sec.
ton OF the country, and in the course of a

lish young ladies thought nothing of enter
tanning their grandmotLers, who were Indian
squaws The Indian men seldom appeared.
but the women were very fond of visiting the
cities for short periods and then returning to
their tribes.
In one case the ancestress of one of the
most prominent families in st. Paul used to
visit her descendants twice year but never
could be induced to sleep in house, and tho
entrance to the handsome mansion was occu-
pied by the tepee of the old grandmother
whenever she paid a visit to her granlchil-
dren. This was not All isolated instance, hut

Labor and the Golden Rule,

A writer in The Open Court, scholarly
Chicago publication, relates all experience OF
his early life which carries an instructive
lesson. Although now possessed of com
potency, in his early years he trundled a
wheelbarrow in the construction of railroads,
and deemed himself skilled workman then,
as he was, for the men were few who could
accurately and jauntily roll and dump their
barrows. One day all aged fellow worker
said to him: "Yez could wheel on a horse's
rib" and the tribute was q diploma. Soon
atterward there. came along greenlorn,
stalwart, but awkward He made mess of
the job. but only one man volunteered to in
struct him in the knack Of walking the plank.
For his kindness in doing so Jenny Hill was
upbraided by his confreres, who looked on
the new arrival as "plug" and "scabs
Their taunts had little effect on Jenny, but
one day he took aside the writer OF the narra-
tive which we condense and showed him a
little watch charm, on which were engraved
two torches, the one lighting the other, with
this motto underneath: my light is none
the less for lighting my neighbor." What a
lesson that was in political economy and the
humanities! 1t is gratifying to be informed
that this pbilosophic and kindly barrow
trundler nfterward became president of O
great railroad-New York Graphic

The Dress of the Athlete.

1t is paradoXiral, but true, that athletes do
not get the most enjoyment out of outdoor
sport. They can thank themselves for it, too.
They don't know how to dress for it. AL
though knowing lie is to he out in the blister
ing sun, the average athlete will get the
smallest tight fitting cap he can, which will
afford the least shade of anything he can
wear. Then, If he Wear knickerbockcrs, he

either above or below the knee. and having
an injurious effect upon the circulation of
the blood, the improvement of which is the
very end and aim of exercise Lawn tennis
players anil bicyclists suffer most from the
latter mistake.
1t could lie easily avoided and the blood
given the most unrestricted flow by the use
OF little common sense and the hose sup
porter worn by the other sex, which supports
the long stockings by means of band passing
around the hips. The reason why athletes do
not use this more is because they have an idea
that tie band congresses the abdomen. This
it does not do. There is Il little depression i'll
the hip bones into which the band falls, and
from which it will not slip. The inhabitants
of Belgium utilize this provision of nature by
suspending all their clothing for the lower
limbs from the hips leaving their shoulders
free. Certainly if heavy clothes can be ad-
vantageousely suspended from the hips pair
of hose can 1t would seem that the athletes
should try to derive the most benefit possible
from the open air, and not stutlicIously make
every condition or dress tell against securing
such aresult.-Athlete in Globe Democrat.
